Surface stabilization of biosensors

Abstract

A sensor apparatus includes a substrate, a semiconductor device disposed over the substrate, the semiconductor device having a surface electrode structure, and a saccharide coating formed over the surface electrode structure. The saccharide coating can be removed prior to use. The semiconductor device can further include a well and optionally a bead disposed in the well.

What is claimed: 
     
       1. A treatment system comprising:
 a plurality of reagent vessels; 
 a manifold in fluidic communication with the plurality of reagent vessels; and 
 a treatment apparatus including a slidable deck to receive sensor apparatuses, a clamp having resilient apparatus guides, and an access manifold in fluidic communication with the manifold and including ports to fluidically connect with flow cells of the sensor apparatuses, when the slidable deck is positioned under the clamp, the clamp movable to motivate the slidable deck downward to engage the access manifold.
